With its thriving main street, convenient location and pedigree of noteworthy residents, New Canaan living is cultured with a genuine community feel.

The Commute

Express trains from Metro North’s New Canaan station, served by its own dedicated railroad branch, reach Manhattan in just under one hour. Downtown Stamford is a short drive (or shuttle train ride) away.

New Canaan became an epicenter of contemporary architecture as home to the “Harvard Five,” a group of five legendary modernists composed of Philip Johnson, Marcel Breuer, Landis Gores, Eliot Noyes and John M. Johansen.
